The Most Popular Fashion Brands Worn By Meghan Markle And Kate Middleton
April 22, 2019 By Chloe Draws
Being a member of the Royal Family brings with it a bunch of fashion influence. Not only do people around the world listen to your words, but your presentation is everything. When you're a royal, people will always rush to see what you're wearing. In fact, some will even rush to buy the same things!
It is estimated that Princess Charlotte, the adorable three-year-old sister of the future king, is worth more than $4.3 billion to the fashion industry. This is because of the influence she has wearing her clothes. So what about Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle? We break down some of their favorite fashion brands and see if we can look like them too.
Please note that Editor Choice may profit from any purchases made through this story.
Aquazzura – pumps
In January 2019, a visibly pregnant Duchess went for a monochromatic look when she visited her new patronage, the National Theatre. During the visit, she wore these amazing Aquazzura pumps.

It was an amazing outfit that shows how elegant she was during one of her first royal engagements. We tracked down a similar fashion item, which can go on sale for $695
Hatch – The Eliza Dress, $218
Maintaining the classic look of black and beige, the Duchess of Sussex wore an Oscar de la Renta coat over a black Hatch dress. The dress, which goes on sale for $218, is a fairly modest choice for the royal who usually spends a bit more on clothes and fashion.

Hatch's Eliza Dress immediately caught the attention of journalists and fashionistas who sought to buy a version for themselves. Good news: you can buy your very own today!
Norrøna – Puffer Jacket, $486
During their honeymoon in New Zealand, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex explored the Redwoods Treewalk in Rotorua. During the trip, Markle can be seen wearing her new husband's puffer jacket from Norrøna.

Norrøna's black puffer jacket is the perfect item for those who feel the wind a little too strong. It is casual yet elegant; perfect for any young couple enjoying married life together.
Simone Rochas – Earrings, $275
The Duchess of Cambridge just can't get enough of earrings! While most royals wear earrings during engagements, we're always caught off by how amazing Kate's are. These Simone Rochas set are a bit more expensive than her other pairs, coming in at $275.

Like most items Kate Middleton wears, these were out of stock soon after she wore them. However, they are back in stock and can be bought at My Theresa. Will you update your fashion wardrobe by getting these?
Castañer – Castañer Carina Wedge Espadrilles, $120
One of the Royal protocols is the necessity to wear high heels – no matter how pregnant or uncomfortable they are. In October 2018, Meghan Markle was seen in Castañer Carina Wedge Espadrilles, worth $120.

Even though they looked absolutely amazing, Meghan Markle had to remove them once she walked onto an Australian beach. We don't blame her! Since her trip, more people have bought these fabulous shoes.
Eponine – Green Flounce Sleeve Dress
The Duchess of Cambridge has been in the limelight for years, solidifying her role as a fashion influencer. In February 2019, Kate Middleton was seen in a bright green dress by Eponine. Amazingly, the dress can be yours for only $49.

Over the years, the Duchess of Cambridge has been seen in many different outfits that are modest in price but bold in fashion taste. Do you like her style? For only a few dollars her look can be yours.
Topshop – Polka-Dot Tiered Midi Dress
Here's another example of the Duchess of Cambridge dressing modestly. In 2013, Kate Middleton wore a simple black-and-white polka-dot dress from Topshop. In the UK, Topshop is widely seen as an everyday and accessible store for everyday people.
For only $40, women can buy the exact dress worn by royalty. Kate Middleton is often seen as relatable by British citizens due to her easygoing and frugal spending habits. Still, it doesn't stop her looking amazing.
L.K. Bennett – Sledge Leather Pumps, $345
Ok, so at the end of the day, the Duchess of Cambridge will one day be Queen. Why shouldn't she splash out every now and then? Here, we can see Kate Middleton wearing L.K. Bennett shoes – notably, their 'Sledge' pumps.
The popular shoes are worth a pretty penny, coming in at $345. Still, every girl loves a pair of shoes and she has been seen wearing them on multiple occasions. We think they look great with this dress.
Kate Spade – Red Tassel Earrings, $69
Kate Middleton certainly knows how to make a splash with a modest budget. Over time, the Duchess has worn many items from Kate Spade. Some of her most popular accessories are these colorful red tassel earrings. For only $69, she knows how to rock them without spending too much money on her fashion.
2017 wasn't the first time that Kate Middleton wore something from Kate Spade. Later that year, she wore a polka-dot dress by the same designer during Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's engagement announcement.
Aritzia – Lawson Trench Coat, $248
Meghan Markle is a massive fan of Aritzia and the trench coat they produce. This Canadian-based chain had its moment in the British limelight after the future Duchess wore it to the UK team trials for the Invictus Games.
As well as their Lawson Trench Coat, Meghan has also been spotted in a burgundy dress by the same fashion retailer. We imagine the Canadian company earned quite a few new British fans after this! Do you like it?
Jenny Packham – Polka-Dot Print Surplice Wrap Dress
What do you wear when you know every single media outlet will be taking your picture? In 2013, Kate Middleton wore this modest dress only hours after giving birth to her first child, Prince George.
Usually, the Duchess wears more formal Jenny Packham dresses that she reserves for official events. This time around, the new mother kept her fashion cool and relaxed. We forgive her – she had just given birth, after all!
Zara – Crystal Collar Necklace
It's not just the dresses and shoes that people love to look at: what about the jewelry? Amazingly, the future Queen has a soft spot for high street staple Zara. In December 2013, Kate wore this necklace which is only worth $68 – not bad for a Duchess!
Recently, Kate Middleton has been seen wearing the necklace from the Spanish retailer that she saves for casual occasions. Once again, it is an example of how down-to-Earth the Duchess appears. She represents someone who can inspire people to buy everyday items.
Adina Reyter – 14k Gold 3 Diamond Earrings, $598
Unlike her sister-in-law, Meghan Markle will often be seen sporting glamorous and expensive items. You can take the girl out of Hollywood, but you can't take the Hollywood out of the girl! Here, the Duchess is seen in Gold earrings by Adina Reyter.
The pair of earrings had three diamonds encrusted into them in a triangular formation, making a subtle addition to the fashion choice. For $300, these earrings can be yours. Would you wear similar items?
Erdem – Velvet Long-Sleeve Dress
Kate Middleton can often be seen in Erdem – the Canadian and Turkish designer. The last time we saw her in an Erdem dress was in January 2018, when she was seen pregnant with Prince Louis.
Despite being heavily pregnant at the time, the Duchess wore a formal dress and high heels during a royal visit to Sweden. Even though rules are sometimes relaxed, we expect the future Queen to carry out her duties!
Alexander McQueen – Classic Blazer
Meghan Markle has always been a fan of Alexander McQueen. Since entering the spotlight in 2017, we have seen her in many outfits from the designer. In fact, many thought her wedding dress would be a McQueen.
Always a fan of the overall aesthetic, here we can see Markle wearing a classic Italian blazer. You can buy a similar item for the same price. Do you like the look she has here?
Catbird – Catbird Threadbare Ring, $44
In a rare show of modesty, Meghan Markle can be seen here wearing a subtle Catbird ring worth $44. In February 2018, she was seen wearing a Threadbare Ring during a trip to Scotland. As well as this, the Duchess also wrapped a variety of fabulous rings to match.
The 14k gold ring is from Catbird – a Brooklyn-based jewelry brand that has received a lot of attention ever since. For under $50, you can also own a ring worn by the British Royal Family.
Krewe – Sunglasses
The best thing about Meghan Markle is the undoubtedly American style she brings to the Royal Family. Often Meghan has been spotted with Prince Harry wearing a pair of Krewe sunglasses. These black frames have subtle gold accents around the edges.
Together, the two looked absolutely amazing. Sales for these particular glasses spiked after their trip to the Sydney Harbor in 2018. If you are thinking of getting sunglasses this summer, consider matching these stylish Royals.
Stella McCartney – Stella McCartney Black Falabella Flap Wallet, $300
It's quite normal for members of the Royal Family to accessorize with additional items outside conventional gowns. During International Women's Day in March, a pregnant Meghan was holding this $300 dollar flap wallet by Stella McCartney.
Royals don't carry money or identification with them, so who knows what she keeps in there? We think it's probably a bit of makeup to touch up her eyes now and then! Do you like the bag?
Superga – 2750 Cotu Canvas Trainers, $70
Usually, Royals are not supposed to wear trainers or sneakers. Over the years, this protocol has been relaxed as the Firm experiences more modernizing. When the Duchess is out traveling, she can often be seen in shows like these.
This classic shoe is one of her favorites – known as the '2750 Cotu'. This photo was taken during a 2016 tour of Canada, before walking onto a ship in Victoria Harbor. Do you like these modest shoes?
J. Crew – Earrings, $68
Proving that the Duchess is consistent with her brands, here we can see Kate Middleton wearing some amazing J. Crew earrings. The best thing about these is how affordable they are at only $68 dollars.
Buy this item now – CURRENTLY ON SALE
We think the Duchess of Cambridge wore them at the Festival of Remembrance. Now, you can own the same earrings as a real-life Duchess! Would you get these? We think they're the perfect addition to most outfits for both casual and formal settings.
Carolina Herrera – Layered Long Dress
Meghan Markle wore this amazing patterned gown by Carolina Herrera during a royal visit to Morocco. Interestingly, it wasn't the first time she wore an item by the designer. The Duchess wore a pale pink ensemble in June 2018, as well as a belted denim outfit the following month by the same brand.
Fans of Markle can get their own versions of Carolina Herrera clothes if they like what they see. For the rest of her life, the Duchess of Sussex will influence millions of people.
Manolo Blahnik – Heels
Sometimes, the Duke and Duchess like to dress casually. For these occasions – like when they attended the Investiture of the founder of Education for All – Markle can be seen here in a tailored shirt. It was tailored for the occasion and looks amazing.
Pool | Getty Images
Every so often Markle likes to wear chilled, chic items that would look good on any of us. Something like this can be yours – if you're willing to spend the $625 on it.
Alice and Olivia, The Heron Slipper – Blazer and Birdies, $485 and $120
Just because it's the same event, it doesn't mean that Royals are restricted to one outfit! During the same trip, the Duchess can be seen wearing a navy blazer by Alice and Olivia as well as her favorite flats – made by The Heron Slipper.

Usually, members of the Royal Family have to wear heels when conducting official engagements. Occasional exceptions are allowed – and pregnancy is one of them! We still think she looks great.
Valentino – Clutch
A few days after their trip to Education for All, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex can be seen here in Casablanca. Meghan Markle looks amazing in a Valentino cape red dress. As well as the dress, she also carried a Valentino Garavani clutch to keep any additional items she may need.
We couldn't track down this exact item, but if you want to own a clutch similar to this, we found another which can rack in at $3,295. Do you have the cash lying around to spend? If so, then go for it!
Cuyana – Weekend bag, $395
What do you when you're a Royal and find yourself going away? Just because she's now a Duchess, it doesn't mean that she doesn't pack her own bags! As we can see here, Markle chose a leather weekender by Cuyana.
Gotham | Getty Images
This particular photo is from February 2019, when the Duchess flew to New York to celebrate a baby shower for her future child. Markle broke another protocol by doing this, but we can't imagine she cares too much.
Tamara Mellon – Boots, $695
A Duchess must always be seen in heels, as we've explained in previous posts. Here is no exception, as we can see her in these stylish Tamara Mellon boots suitable for evening wear with friends.
She is on her way to dinner at The Polo Bar and is also in Hatch Jeans wearing a Stella McCartney bag. We think she looks amazing! The boots can be yours for just $695 – would you invest that much in them?
Stuart Weitzman – Pumps, $398
It was all go for the Duchess during her trip to New York! The weekend baby shower was an amazing event full of friends and family. For her party on the other side of the pond, Markle wore nude Stuart Weitzman pumps.
We love how they pop when contrasted with other dark clothes she's wearing at the same time. For just under $400, these items can be yours.
Sarah Flint – Marina Boots, $695
It's been a busy time for The Duke and Duchess, flying around the world with new royal engagements. Well, when the couple was in Bristol, UK, this February, Markle could be seen wearing these amazing boots.
Marc Giddings | Getty Images
The Sarah Flint Marina boots go for around $695 and have seen a spike in sales ever since Markle wore them in public. Would you buy these designer items? Well, now you can!
Monica Vinader – Earrings, $195
For more formal occasions, the Duchess of Cambridge is often seen in these Monica Vinader set of Siren earrings. With a glow of gold and striking green, they're perfect for fancy dinners or events.
For less than $200, you can buy your own set of earrings that will be sure to impress anyone who sees them. The 18ct Gold Plated Vermeil looks amazing while wrapped around some Sterling silver. Monica Vinader offers free delivery on all orders in the US.
Strathberry – Bi-Color Bag
Back to Meghan Markle, and we can see how she looks amazing sporting this handbag. As you can see by her tartan coat, Meghan Markle was visiting Scotland only a few weeks after her engagement was announced.
As soon as Markle wore this Strathberry bag, the British press went crazy about her fashion. Immediately, fans of hers rushed to buy their own version of the $775 bag. We think the glamor she brings with her will make her the perfect Royal!
MOTHER – The Looker Frayed Ankle Skinny Jeans, $228
Here, we can see the future Duchess of Sussex enjoying a casual day in the sun. This photo was taken during the 2017 Invictus Games in Canada, before the couple we wedded. Amazingly, her influence at the time caused them to sell out almost immediately.
Now that Markle is part of the Royal Family, we will rarely see her in casual attire. Certain exceptions can be made during pregnancy, but soon it will be back to dresses and heels! Do you like these jeans?
Reiss – Lace Detail Dress
Kate Middleton practically broke the internet with this lace dress from 2011. Just before she was to marry her Prince, Middleton wore a neutral sheath when meeting the Obama family. It was during this visit that a photo of the future Queen and First Lady was snapped.
Buy a similar item – NOW ON SALE
Kate Middleton has often worn Reiss. You might remember her long-sleeved navy dress for her official engagement portrait? Turns out it was the same brand! She must save Reiss and their fashion designs for special occasions.
Temperley London – Striped Lace Gown
Even though the Duchess may be a frugal spender, it doesn't mean she doesn't wear amazing dresses for special occasions. Here, we can see the Duchess in a Temperley London dress worth almost $750. The photo was snapped during a 2016 royal tour of India.
Of course, the Royal Family is expected to fashion formal and glamorous outfits during an official visit to a country. Anything less would be offensive! If you have the spare cash, a similar dress can be yours.
J. Crew – Wrap Coat
J. Crew is one of the brands that is lucky enough to be worn by both Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton. Here, we can see the Duchess of Sussex sporting a wrap coat worth $268 – a fairly modest price considering what she usually wears.
The navy coat with its white contrast lines is immediately recognizable and caused the fashion store to instantly sell out once seen in the British media. Fans of the Duchess quickly ordered it online and can be seen all over the streets of London!

Bad Selfies: 6 Places Not to Pose in Yellowstone
Elisabeth Kwak-Hefferan
Yellowstone National Park is an untamed wilderness area. Here are five bad locations to pose along with suggestions on how to take safe selfies.
1. Right next to a geyser
Composite/Deposit Photos
Yes, Yellowstone's most famous thermal features are amazing. Yes, a photo standing alongside one of the biggies—Grand Geyser, Steamboat Geyser, Old Faithful—would surely impress your friends back home. But when geysers erupt, superheated water powered by steam can blast hundreds of feet into the air, and there's no telling exactly in which direction it will spray.
Even if you escape a scalding, the ground in Yellowstone's thermal areas is thin and fragile; people who have stepped off trails and boardwalks have broken through the crust into boiling pools and died.
Better idea: Keep a safe distance from geysers by sticking to the boardwalks and trails. That way, your photo will capture a better sense of the geyser's size and power.
2. In Yellowstone Lake
Those lapping waves, that deep blue water: North American's largest highest-altitude lake definitely makes for a refreshing backdrop. But think twice before you dive into its depths for a photo: The water temperature usually hovers between 40°F and 50°F. That's so cold that the survival time for someone immersed in the water is only about 20 minutes, and why many people have drowned in Yellowstone Lake.
Don't even think about jumping into the deep water—if you can't get back in your boat easily, your clock is ticking.
Better idea: Shoot from the shore, from the viewing platforms in front of Lake Hotel, or from the safety of a boat or kayak.
3. In a hot spring
Like the sound of a natural hot tub? What about a hot tub that exceeds 200°F? A dip in that kind of water can quickly scald a person to death; even if you're pulled right back out, third-degree burns will likely finish the job.
And just in case you need another reason to steer clear of boiling hot springs: Touching them could damage the delicate bacterial colonies that give features like Grand Prismatic Spring its beautiful colors.
Better idea: If you must have a soaking selfie, head to two places in the park where the water is safe to sit in: the Boiling River (near Mammoth) or Mr. Bubbles (in the backcountry Bechler area).
4. On the edge of the canyon
What a dramatic shot: You, a thundering waterfall, the bright walls of the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone all around you. But this enormous canyon is more than 1,000 feet deep in places, and the cliff walls leading down to the river are sheer. It would only take one wrong step—or one bit of crumbling soil—to plummet straight down.
Better idea: Snap your shot from safe overlooks at Uncle Tom's Trail, Artist Point or Point Sublime.
5. With a bison—or bear , wolf or elk…
All together now: Wildlife at Yellowstone is wild.
These large, unpredictable animals are not pets. They're not domesticated. They can and will injure, maim, or kill you if you get too close. Sounds like common sense, but in just the summer of 2015, 5 different people were gored by bison—4 of them trying to take a selfie with one when the bison gave them its horns.
Better idea: You were lucky enough to spot one of Yellowstone's incredible animals: Train your camera on it, not yourself! And know the rules about how far to stay away from wildlife.
6. While driving
Eyes on the road!
Deposit Photos
You're driving the Grand Loop road when you come around the corner and spot bison. You take out your camera to snap a shot of you driving amidst a huge herd. But as you're fumbling with your camera, your car veers across the yellow line and into oncoming traffic.
Traffic-related accidents are the most common cause of injury and death in the park, according to Yellowstone officials. Drive with extra caution. The park is full of blind corners, wildlife that wander into the road and foreign drivers not accustomed to driving with the steering wheel on the left-hand side.
Better Idea: If you see wildlife, use a roadside pullout to move out of the way of traffic. Park officials ask that you stay patient and wait for the road to clear if you get stuck in a "bison jam" when bison gather in the road. At night, drive extra cautiously as wildlife often move at night.

Woodlawn neighborhood is one of those established Fredericksburg neighborhoods that brings a smile to a Fredericksburg native. With 85% of the homes belonging to married couples, and 39% with children, this is a great neighborhood for a family with children. It has a great location off of Deacon Rd, with a quick hop and a skip from downtown Fredericksburg and Route 1. With historic downtown Fredericksburg only 4 lights away, Woodlawn residents enjoy the benefits of being close to all the fine dining and activities our historic town has to offer, and yet Woodlawn stands secluded across the Rappahannock River, in a neighborhood where families can ride their bikes down the streets or go for summer evening walks.
This neighborhood is less than 2 miles from the Massad YMCA which offers 2 indoor swimming pools, outdoor water park, 4 indoor tennis courts, playgrounds and popular jogging trails through lower Stafford. This area of south Stafford is bubbling with activities through Stafford County Parks and Recreation, as well as multiple independent dance, music and martial arts companies for children and adults, like the YMCA, Hampton's Karate, Paragon Training Center, and the Yamaha Music School. People often unwind downtown with the wonderful array of boutiques and restaurants historic downtown Fredericksburg offers our community.
The heart of downtown Fredericksburg has wonderful shops and restaurants on the main streets of Caroline Street and William Street, like Lydia's Monogram Gifts, La Petite Auberge Fine Dining, Hyperion Coffee, Ulman's Jewelry, Jabberwocky Children's Books and Toys, J. Brian's Tap Room, the Mock Turtle Children's Store, Capital Ale House, the Kenmore Inn, the Bavarian Chef, among many other places to shop or wine and dine!
Woodlawn is in the southern part of Stafford County, adjacent to the City of Fredericksburg. Living here, your children can attend one of the best elementary schools in South Stafford, Conway Elementary School, followed by Dixon-Smith Middle School and Stafford Sr. High School. For those who work out of town, commuting from Woodlawn to any direction is quick with only a couple roads needing to take you north, south, east or west. Dahlgren and King George, for example, are only a 25 mile commute and 19 mile commute from the Woodlawn neighborhood, and Northern Virginia and Richmond are also easily accessible from this neighborhood's easy access to Route 1 and Interstate 95.
Woodlawn not only has great access to everything Fredericksburg and southern Stafford have to offer, but it offers great commuting flexibility as well as a quiet, family-friendly neighborhood.

A condensed summary of my progress along the Pieterpad in 2018.
The numbers refer to the stages in the current version of the Pieterpad guide, Parts I and II. The distances are the "official" stage distances in the Guide - in places these differ a little bit from those of the GPS route and/or those given on the Pieterpad website, probably mostly due to rounding errors.
I generally stuck to the stage-points suggested in the Guide for my day-walks, except where there were very short stages:
I combined stages 1 and 2, walking from Pieterburen to Groningen in one day (total 31km, but it saved doing the long journey to Winsum two extra times)
I combined stages 12 and 13, walking from Holten to Vorden in one day (total 28km)
I reduced the four unequal stages between Groesbeek and Venlo (stages 18-21) to three days of about 24km each by shifting the stage-points to Afferden and Meerlo, which turn out to be quite convenient points for buses.
The week of 10-16 June was when I came closest to "proper" long-distance walking, hitting the trail on six days out of seven, and covering about 25% of the route. I was enjoying it, otherwise I wouldn't be doing this!
Between 24/6 and 30/6 I was on a pre-planned walking holiday in Germany, so I had to take a break from the Pieterpad with only five stages to go.
I completed the 13 stages of Part I (238 km, 48% of the route) on 6/6/18.
I completed Part II on 10/7/18, 66 days after starting Part I.
I spent 23 days walking in all, averaging about 22km of the official route per walking day (plus a few extra km I didn't count here and there to link to public transport and to get back to Maastricht at the end of the final stage).

Trolls Party Edition / Blu-ray + DVD + Digital HD + UltraViolet Review
By Chris Lentz | Leave a Comment | Published 3 years ago
Trolls Review
Trolls (2016) is the story of Poppy (Anna Kendrick) and Branch (Justin Timberlake), two Trolls who set out on a journey to rescue a friend who has been taken by the evil Bergens. "Trolls" is a super cute movie with incredibly vibrant colors and a story that will entertain both kids and adults alike. The voice talent which is led by Anna Kendrick (Poppy) and Justin Timberlake (Branch) was terrific. The film features a diverse selection of animation styles which includes both computer generated animation and traditional stop motion animation. I have always been a fan of stop-motion animation, and this film's approach of using it for scrapbooking is something I appreciate. Anyway, a movie can encourage young children to create art easily is OK with me. I also really enjoyed the excellent and diverse selection of modern and classic songs that were reimagined for the film. I give Trolls (2016) a 7 out of 10.
Trolls Party Edition / Blu-ray + DVD + Digital HD + UltraViolet
As I mentioned earlier, "Trolls" is a very colorful and visually vibrant film with excellent music, so it was important that the Blu-ray represented these qualities, which it does perfectly. The "Trolls" Party Edition Blu-ray is packed full of excellent features the kids will absolutely love (adults might enjoy a few too). The "Party Mode" version of the film includes 15 different sing-along songs and four interactive features that are embedded right in the movie. The disc also includes over 45 minutes of Blu-ray special features.
Travel Through Troll Village - Explore the colorful and vibrant world that is Troll Village and meet a couple of the film's primary characters along the way.
The Potion for Stop-Motion - Explore the world of stop-motion animation and see how the film's creators built Poppy's scrapbook. This feature also encourages kids to easily create stop-motion art of their own.
Creating Troll Magic - Learn how "Trolls" was made and explore some of the various processes that went into the making of the film.
If your child enjoys singing and dancing, then the Trolls Party Edition Blu-ray is a must have for your home. I give the Trolls Party Edition / Blu-ray + DVD + Digital HD + UltraViolet pack a 9 out of 10.

Germania, Brema. 7 giorni, di cui 5 di corso e 2 di viaggio. 25 ragazzi che rappresentavano 12 paesi europei. 2 trainer. Una casa enorme in mezzo ai boschi tedeschi. Un corso intitolato "Practice makes enterpreneurs", la pratica rende imprenditori. Giorni molto intensi in cui abbiamo imparato a condividere idee, ambizioni e progetti. Giorni in cui abbiamo imparato grazie alle nostre diversità. Giorni in cui abbiamo imparato attraverso l'educazione non-formale, un metodo "learn-by-doing", i concetti principali che stanno alla base del mondo dell'imprenditoria. Giorni in cui ci siamo messi in gioco, abbiamo affrontato sfide ed analizzato nuovi punti di vista. Torniamo da questo corso molto soddisfatti e arricchiti; volenterosi di trasmettere ciò che abbiamo imparato alle nostre realtà locali. Grazie a tutti coloro che hanno reso tutto questo possibile!
The new era which is profoundly marked by the economic crisis and more specifically by the radical degradation of the economic sector in the majority of the European countries, the enhancement of the components that make up both the theoretical and practical aspects of entrepreneurship might constitute one of the main keys for the consolidation of the situation. Accordingly, the reinforcement of the practical education on entrepreneurship by the NGOs and CSOs will definitely entail a flourishing of the entrepreneurial dynamism in our communities, whilst the practical application of concrete educational methods related to entrepreneurship by youth workers, will enable young people to come in touch with an array of soft skills, thus ensuring their coveted entry into the business arena.
Taking into consideration the current situation in the majority of European countries, the international training course 'Practice Makes Entrepreneurs' is seeking to equip youth workers and leaders who work directly with young unemployed people with essential business and entrepreneurial knowledge and skills, in order to make them capable to indicate 'alternative paths' correlated with the labor market, thus contributing to the limitation of the unemployment among youth. Specifically, by saying 'alternative paths', it's being implied the promotion of self-employment and a general cultivation of an entrepreneurial culture. The above target will be accomplished through a combination of practical knowledge provision on entrepreneurship, and a parallel cultivation of a positive way of thinking within the side-paths of self-awareness and self-motivation.
Specifically, participants experienced various practical exercises -mostly based on non-formal education methods- which will qualify them with entrepreneurial knowledge that can be utilized to equip young people with essential skills, in order to be ready to take entrepreneurial decisions concerning complex socioeconomic conditions. Consequently, the subsequent application of those practical methods-exercises within different local contexts, also aims at the dissemination of alternative entrepreneurial methods, thus contributing to the eradication of various obstacles, such as discrimination and inequality in opportunities; problems which are frequently being encountered by young people, especially in the deprived and rural areas of the E.U.
To provide practical tools using non-formal education that inspire young people to take entrepreneurial action.
To create a space to reflect on educational non-formal tools related to entrepreneurship and pave the way for their transferability and further development.
To develop entrepreneurial competences that make use of the non-formal education in youth work in order to stimulate self-employment and entrepreneurial culture among unemployed youth.
To develop a sustainable network among youth organizations which are being associated with entrepreneurship within EU and create stronger partnerships for future projects in the European context.

The sleepover is a time-honored tradition and sometimes one of the most fun parts of growing up. Stories are swapped, feelings are shared, and some of the most important bonding between childhood friends takes place simply when one child "stays over" with another.
As a parent, it's no surprise that your job is to make sure the sleepover goes over as successfully as possible. A big part of that is keeping both your own child and the guest child safe. Listed below are five rules to keep the children safe while they're having a good time.
1. It's better to be safe than sorry.
This applies to all parts of the sleepover, and it's an important rule to mention when the child arrives. The guest child will often be nervous, so letting he or she know that you're not going to let anything happen will help them feel more at home.
You can gently mention to both children that they have to look out for one another at all times. This will help foster the sense of "togetherness" that's a big part of the sleepover adventure.
2. Stay on the property.
Children sometimes have backyard sleepovers outside, but in any event they shouldn't wander off your property after dark. Staying inside the yard keeps them safe and limits the space you'll have to search for them "just in case."
Rather than letting them feel confined, afford them lots of other safe things to do within the yard, including telling stories, looking up at the night sky, and listening to music.
Also, as a parent, you'll want to check on them as much as possible, to make sure they're doing okay. Try to restrain yourself to a minimum of visits. Remember, they're on an adventure - and no one likes to drag their parents along on an adventure.
3. Eat dinner early, but provide snacks later.
You'll want to serve the evening meal early so the kids can get a fun start on their evening's activities. It'll be easier for you, too, since they won't dawdle coming to the dinner table. The sleepover is an excellent occasion to fix your child's favorite meal, including his favorite dessert.
Later, prepare a snack of popcorn, ice cream, or cookies and milk to keep them having a good time. But don't give them caffeine - they'll need to sleep at some point in the evening.
4. Suggest a "lights-out" but don't enforce it.
Sooner or later in the evening, the kids will get ready for bed - of course, they're probably not really going to sleep. As a parent, this is your time to play "the parent," turning out the lights and closing the door. They're not really going to sleep, but you've done your part by moving the night along.
5. Stay vigilant but not intrusive.
Only you can decide how closely to watch your child and their guest, but again remember not to "helicopter." It's not good for the children, it's not fun, and it sort of takes the wind from the sleepover's sails. Be a good parent, but not a smothering one. The sleepover is a big part of the child's growing up, and it's one where a little tacit help on your part is all that's needed.

Hello Gentleman! My name is Jane. COME TO ME.
Russian Sluts in Nueva Gerona who do Receiving Oral, are only on PROTECCIONDEDATOS.INFO. To invite bisexual is very simple. Just send a message. Now in this region the most popular lady - Dominica. After a few moments, and as I did, she screamed out. Yet public health officials, each Phone prostitute in Nueva Gerona spent on high-risk populations prevents 50 to 70 times as many new infections as the same money spread out among low-risk groups.


"We went for a walk in Prospect Park and stood on picnic bench. We looked across the park and said, you're on a mountain alone and you've lost everything you knew. But also everything you've been holding back." In the song, which is delightful, our heroine lets loose her icy powers. "Letting go of fear and shame and allowing yourself to let your unique power out is a message we're excited to have go around the world," Anderson-Lopez told the paper.
Now that the Child is in college, we don't go to Disney movies on autopilot, but this one looks gorgeous, and one has to respect a lyric like "My soul is spiralling in frozen fractals all around." Here's our very own park ode to letting go in the snow, belted gorgeously by Idina Menzel. It has almost inspired me to go out for a walk, so that I too can say "The cold never bothered me, anyway!"
The very personification of post-holiday blues: A windblown, rain-soaked Saturday Greenmarket, on the day the Christmas trees get chopped to smithereens at the Mulchfest (tomorrow, too). I buy a few apples and some bread, get my hopes dashed that any greens have robustly survived the previous week's brutal "polar vortex," and even manage to be weirdly depressed by the sudden 50-degree temperature spike.
And then, just as the brief pounding rain abates, I hear it: an impossibly joyful trumpet, burbling within one of the columned shelters at Grand Army Plaza. My video cuts off before his final flourish, in which he somehow blew his few rapt listeners a little brassy "air kiss." Hours later, the delight has still not worn off.
An ideal summer's evening for the return of the New York Philharmonic to Prospect Park. Tchaikovsky floated over a happy crowd; we got there just as things started, and camped near the periphery.
Every year, it seems, people bring more babies and toddlers. For much of the second half of the bill, Respighi was pianissimo and kiddies were fortissimo. At this distance, one is forgiving.
Vendors were selling glowsticks and glowing mohawk-headpieces. Some of them seemed to emit a screeching sound. At least they weren't vuvuzelas.
Daughter curled up on the picnic blanket and dozed under a pile of sweaters through The Pines of Rome. She awakened to remark that, now that she was 17, she was no longer a child, then settled back to sleep until the fireworks began.
I assured Daughter that no one should get too grown up, ever. As the last starbursts sunk into the night sky, everyone went "ooh" and "ahh" and applauded and cheered gleefully, as if none of us had ever seen fireworks before.
Things were heating up on Saturday at the Grand Army Plaza greenmarket: Peppers are coming in.
This life-size milking cow showed up to promote the Dutchess County Fair. I love big fiberglass animals.
Zucchini usually come in green or yellow, long or patty-pan, but Evolutionary Organics has piebald globey ones this year.
The morning's haul: tomatoes (beefsteak and yellow cherry), peaches, collards, garlic, arugula, mesclun, and a $6 Jersey canteloupe. Slaughtered, it provided three generous servings, so at $2 per serving that's not so bad for melon bliss. Still, it amazes me how fast we burn through cash in pursuit of seasonal delights.
By dusk, things were heating up musically: We stopped in at the bandshell's Celebrate Brooklyn concert to hear Red Baraat, a brassy Bhangra band we'd loved at the Botanic Garden's Chili Pepper Festival. Talk about infectious beats; a few folks couldn't resist rocking out. We left before the venerable Dr. John took the stage.
Tonight's Greenmarket dinner: Pasta panzanella from Giuliano Bugialli's pasta book. The only thing cooked is the spaghetti; you put hot pasta on a bed of fresh arugula, and spoon over a mix of chopped raw tomato, onion and garlic marinated simply in olive oil, with basil over the top. Great for a hot night.
Thanks to the PLOG blog for taking some historic footage of Abe Lincoln gazing impassively as the ill-starred Wollman Rink bites the dust in Prospect Park yesterday.
Many of us had some grand times skating outside on the curiously skewed rink (you sort of had to skate uphill one half and downhill the other), surrounded by woods and sky. But the dismal structure and its mechanicals violated Vaux and Olmsted's original plan of a lovely Concert Grove.
The original original plan had an island on which musicians would play. A romantic notion, although apparently the acoustics weren't very good. Moses obliterated the bandstand island in 1960 for the wretched rink building.
Now if only the new plan called for rebuilding the original "Concert Grove House." This postcard view, circa 1900 or so, shows an elegant slate-roofed manse tucked behind lush landscaping; apparently it was built in 1874 to house comfort facilities for ladies and gentlemen and a fine restaurant. It was torn down after a fire in 1949, alas!
And so, farewell to June. In front of the Lefferts Historic House, phlox is blooming and little green apples are fattening up.
Near the Carousel, not calliope music, but the unmistakable strains of Bach, filled the summer air. A helmeted cyclist noodled away at Invention #8, his trusty Cannondale by his side. This is part of a public project of 60 street pianos called "Play Me, I'm Yours"; to read more, go here. They're right, it is cooler than the fiberglass cows, and it's over July 5, so I'm glad I caught it.

The Best Barefoot Shoes for Walking or Running
You were born barefoot, and a growing body of evidence suggests you should have stayed that way. The technology and padding of the modern shoe protect your feet, but protection isn't always what you want. Feet were made to stretch, flex, roll, and bend, and letting them do what they evolved to do can reduce impact injuries and provide a host of other benefits.
That said, please do not buy a pair of these barely-there shoes and start walking or running the way you always have. That won't work, and it can lead to injuries. You need to ease into all things barefoot related, and to some degree, you need to relearn how to walk and run. In this guide, we've got advice on making the transition from padded shoes to "barefoot shoes" (also known as minimalist or zero-drop shoes), and we've rounded up our favorites. They're as close as you can get to achieving that barefoot sensation without running afoul of "No shirt, no shoes, no service" signs.
Be sure to check out our other buying guides, including our Best Running Gear and Best Snow Gear roundups.
Updated November 2022: We've added the Softstar Primal RunAmoc, Xero Denver leather boots and updated prices and links throughout.

Nordic Cross Expands Suite of Hedge Funds with New Launch
By Eugeniu Guzun
Stockholm (HedgeNordic) – Stockholm-based asset manager Nordic Cross Asset Management launched an alternative fixed-income fund called Nordic Cross Credit Edge in mid-August, expanding the firm's suite of hedge funds to four vehicles. The fixed-income fund has also joined the Nordic Hedge Index (NHX), becoming the youngest member of the NHX universe.
Magnus Nilsson, Portfolio Manager and Founding Partner
Nordic Cross Credit Edge aims to generate long-term returns above those obtainable in the European high-yield bond market, targeting a net-of-fees annual return of more than six percent over a period of three to five years. The fund focuses on the European investment universe, with an emphasis on the Nordic region. To meet its objective, Nordic Cross Credit Edge gets exposure to credit markets using derivatives, which requires a very small amount of invested capital. The remaining capital is invested in liquid fixed-income securities with high creditworthiness, with these investments turned into available cash to harvest liquidity-driven risk premia in corporate bonds markets during times of increased uncertainty. The liquidity risk premium increases in periods of high uncertainty, as market liquidity worsens during turmoil.
Fredrik Tauson, Portfolio Manager and Founding Partner
"The market for corporate bonds, particularly in the Nordic region, has a very limited ability to absorb risk. From time to time, there will be pockets of volatility that create excellent opportunities to capture liquidity premia due to selling pressure often derived from major redemptions from corporate bond funds," Fredrik Tauson, a founding partner and portfolio manager at Nordic Cross, comments on the fund's strategy. "A severe distortion of the market mechanism has been taking place in the last 10 years due to rules and regulation in the banking system and CB policy measures. One important distortion is the increased cost for banks to hold risky assets due to stricter regulations. The traditional middleman in fixed income is not as active as before and sellers of bonds must find a "real" buyer instead of putting them on the bank's balance sheet. In market turbulence, this leads to a liquidity crunch due to the lack of opportunistic buyers of e.g high yield bonds. Our new fund, Credit Edge, aims to take advantage of bonds that occasionally trade at a discount due to lackluster liquidity," Magnus Nilsson further explains the fund's strategy.
Emil Nordström
Portfolio Manager, Partner
The investment management team running Nordic Cross Credit Edge consists of Emil Nordström, Fredrik Tauson and Magnus Nilsson, all part of the eight-member team behind Nordic Cross (pictured). Prior to founding the Stockholm-based alternative investment firm in 2016, Fredrik Tauson and Magnus Nilsson managed two alternative credit funds at Catella Fondförvaltning AB. Emil Nordström, meanwhile, worked at Carnegie Investment Bank prior to joining Nordic Cross in 2017 as partner and portfolio manager.
Asset management group Carneo owns 60 percent of Nordic Cross, while the remaining 40 percent interest is held by the firm's founders. In addition to the freshly launched fund, Nordic Cross manages three other hedge funds. Nordic Cross Small Cap Edge is an actively managed alternative equity fund that returned 10.3 percent year-to-date through the end of July. The eight-member team also manages alternative multi-strategy fund Nordic Cross Stable Return and fixed-income fund Nordic Cross Total Return Bond. Nordic Cross oversees approximately SEK 2.5 billion in assets under management only 12 months after launching its first two hedge funds in the summer of last year.
Welcome to the Nordic Hedge Index, Nordic Cross Credit Edge!

Unidentified Woman plunges into Lagos lagoon
By on	 June 11, 2018 National
A yet to be identified woman has reportedly jumped from the Third Mainland Bridge in Lagos, Nigeria's commercial city into the lagoon.
According to an eyewitness, the lady came out of a taxi on the Third Mainland Bridge and jumped into the lagoon at about 6:00 pm on Sunday, June 10, 2018.
A good Samaritan who owns the Ford car, an eyewitness said was trying to stop the suicide attempt but it was too late.
Another eyewitness said the lady who jumped into the water didn't come with any vehicle. At that time of the day, the tide would flow towards Lekki.
Meanwhile, ALEDEH can report that the Lagos State Response Unit didn't find the car there about 5 minutes after the broadcast went viral on social media.
Though it is unclear what might have prompted her decision, however, the development is coming a year after a medical doctor identified as Orji jumped from the Third Mainland Bridge into the lagoon and got drowned.
The video below, which was sent to ALEDEH by an eyewitness, on Sunday evening, shows sympathizers at the scene.
http://www.gidipoint.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Lady-Jumps-Into-Lagos-Lagoon-On-3rd-Mainland-Bridge.mp4
Meanwhile, as at the time of filing this report, both the Lagos State Police Command and the Lagos State Emergency Management Agency (LASEMA), were yet to make a statement regarding the incident.

Some of us are predisposed to seek pleasure and tranquility by having a drink after work, taking a cigarette break, or partaking in more dangerous substances. What if there were a way to experience these same effects without the harmful aspects?

HIGH: 6 Principles for Guilt-Free Pleasure and Escape (Hazelden; April 2015; $15.95; Original Trade Paperback), by award-winning author and writer Jodie Gould, shows how these exercises and activities result in emotional, physical, and spiritual satisfaction without any potentially harmful side effects. Gould, who has shared her tips with Oprah, ABC World News Tonight, and many other programs, reveals the 6 Pleasure Principles to help transform your life.
Principle #1 is Move: Physically moving the body helps to relieve anxiety but also enhances concentration, learning, and memory. Principle #2 is Restore: A variety of activities—including yoga, meditation, prayer, acupuncture, and many more—can restore and revitalize your mind, body, and spirit. Principle #3 is Connect: Bonding with family, friends, and the community can aid in fending off depression and loneliness. Principle #4 is Create: Expressing and expanding the inner self through creative and artistic activities can reduce stress and help you to get in touch with your feelings. Principle #5 is Celebrate: Affirming life and experiencing joy through laughter and by being grateful, for example, can protect us from detrimental effects of day-to-day struggles and pain. Principle #6 is Give: We can find purpose by volunteering, which in turn increases endorphin production and enhances the immune system.
In addition, Gould reviews the brain's role in seeking pleasure, how it works when it's craving drugs and alcohol, the various ways that even animals seek euphoria, and the philosophy of pleasure seeking by examining the insights of philosophers such as Socrates, Plat, and Epicurus.
HIGH by Jodie Gould is a guide on how seek guilt-free for pleasure and escape that is productive, healthy, and personally rewarding.

Major heritage project about to start in the Humber Bridge Country Park : 'Quarry to Country Park'
Work gets under way on Wednesday (2 October) on a major project in the Humber Bridge Country Park.
'Quarry to Country Park' is a heritage project, funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund and delivered by East Riding of Yorkshire Council and their contractors, Ashcourt Construction.
The main aim of the project is to improve physical and intellectual access to the natural, industrial and social heritage of the Humber Bridge Country Park, a former chalk quarry known fondly in the locality as Little Switzerland.
The project will see the refurbishment and re-opening of the Humber Foreshore's Hessle Mill, a rare example of an early nineteenth century whiting mill that once ground chalk from the nearby quarry.
A £724,000 grant from the National Lottery Heritage Fund will fund most of the £968,869 project, with the council covering the remainder of the costs.
Once open, the mill will form part of 'The Chalk Walk' heritage trail, which will follow a path through the oldest area of the quarry, continuing on four levels inside the mill's tower. Construction work is due to start on 2 October, with completion by Spring 2020.
A schedule of fun and interesting learning events for schools and the community will follow the opening of the Chalk Walk trail throughout 2020 and 2021.
There are also opportunities to get involved in the project, either as a volunteer to steward at the mill or help with learning events, or by contributing oral history for a new archive of recorded memories about the quarry, mill and Little Switzerland. Anybody wishing to register an interest in volunteering can do so via the project website (www.quarrytocountrypark.co.uk) or for more info can contact Dr Alex Ombler on 01482 392713 or alex.ombler@eastriding.gov.uk
Unlike the windmill at Skidby, which ground corn and wheat to make flour, Hessle Mill was an industrial 'whiting windmill' designed to crush chalk from the nearby quarry that now forms the Humber Bridge Country Park. The exact date of the mill's construction is not known, but based on the design of the tower and the cap and sails (which were removed in 1925) it was likely built sometime between 1810 and 1815, when it replaced an earlier horse-powered mill. The crushed chalk was used to manufacture a purified powered form of chalk called whiting. During the nineteenth century this was mainly used as a filler in paint or mixed with linseed oil to make putty; later it was used more extensively in the production of rubber, paint and plastics.
Chalk extraction stopped in 1970 and the wider quarry area returned to nature. The construction and opening of the Humber Bridge in 1981 brought a new focus to the site, which had been purchased by Humberside County Council during the previous decade. In 1982 the whiting mill acquired grade II listed status and four years later the Humber Bridge Country Park was opened by the local council as an attraction for the thousands who visited the area. In 2002 the Country Park was also designated a local nature reserve due to its wildlife value and importance to the local community.
During the improvement scheme, diversions for visitors to the park will be in place and will be signposted on site.
Councillor Shaun Horton, portfolio holder for tourism, culture and leisure at East Riding of Yorkshire Council, said: "We're delighted that we've received this support thanks to National Lottery players. The project will unlock the tourism potential of this beautiful nature reserve, which is already popular with local people, by investing in the country park's heritage assets. This major project will help showcase the area in a visual way and allow people to explore the park's history."
David Renwick, Director, England, North, for the National Lottery Heritage Fund, said: "The combination of rare natural, and industrial heritage is an important part of the Humber Estuary. We are delighted that National Lottery players can support the preservation of Whiting Mill, improve access to the site, and enable a programme of activities to help uncover the geological, natural, and industrial heritage of the area, providing greater accessibility and understanding for the community, volunteers and visitors."

Sonnenwagen Aachen is a team of university students from Aachen, Germany, who used Autodesk Fusion 360 software to create a completely solar-powered car. In October 2017, they will compete in the World Solar Challenge, a biennial competition in which groups traverse 3,000 kilometers through the outback in vehicles powered by the sun and kinetic energy alone.
In a world full of designers increasingly looking to reduce their carbon footprint and uncover more sustainable energy sources, many groups are discovering ways to harness renewable sources of power that can help vehicles get around. The Sonnenwagen Aachen team set out to win the World Solar Challenge by creating a sustainable vehicle design from scratch.
The students didn't have a prototype when they started building their solar car, or any model on which they could base their idea. So they turned to Fusion 360, a cloud-based collaboration tool that was intuitive and easy to use. They used Fusion 360 to dream up their design, test it digitally, tweak it, and ultimately render and make it real. During the design and build process, the students in the group lived all over the city and attended different schools. For that reason, they needed a tool that fostered collaboration--one that allowed people to work at home, at their university, or at the Sonnenwagen Aachen office.
Fusion 360 ended up being just the solution the student group needed. The platform not only allowed them to build and perfect the car from scratch, it also facilitated team work, allowing every member to collaborate, make changes, provide feedback, and keep up to date with what was happening with the project, no matter where they were.
On July 20, 2017, the Sonnenwagen was officially unveiled at the Federal Ministry for the Environment in Berlin. It drives smoothly and uses only the power of a vacuum cleaner--all fueled by the energy of the sun. The group now will have two months to perfect the car and prepare for the race in Australia.
Two years ago, engineering and science students from Aachen University and the University of Applied Science in Aachen decided that they wouldn't just study in the classroom. Instead, they took learning into their own hands and formed Sonnenwagen Aachen, a group that would create a solar car to compete in the World Solar Challenge.
While one of the group's major goals is to win the race, their ultimate goal is to innovate the idea of green mobility and to uncover more efficient driving strategies that could be applied around the world.
Do you want to build a solar car or a device that you can power from a completely sustainable source? Check out Fusion 360. You can use the power of the cloud to collaborate on new inventions, test them, and make them a reality. Learn more about what Sonnenwagen Aachen is doing on Twitter, Facebook, and or Instagram, and cheer them on as they compete.

I need to find the median without using proc means.
Now For this data, there are 16 observations. The median is (119+121)/2 = 120.
How can I code so that I would always be able to find the median, regardless of how many observations there are. Code that would work for even number of observations and odd number of observations.
And of course, PROC means is not allowed.
Thank you.

A: I use a FCMP function for this.  This is a generic quantile function from my personal library.  As the median is the 50%-tile, this will work.

    if n > 1 then do;
        m = alphap+p*(1-alphap-betap);
        i = floor(n*p+m);
        g = n*p + m - i;
        qp = (1-g)*arr[i] + g*arr[i+1];
    end;
    else
        qp = arr[1];
    return(qp);
endsub;
quit;

array v[&n] _temporary_;

v[_n_] = bp;

if last then do;
    med = qtile_n(.5,v,&n);
    put med=;
end;
run;

A: Assuming you have a data set named HAVE sorted by the variable BP, you can try this:
data want(keep=median);
  if mod(nobs,2) = 0 then do; /* even number if records in data set */
     j = nobs / 2;
     set HAVE(keep=bp) point=j nobs=nobs;
     k = bp;  /* hold value in temp variable */
     j + 1;
     set HAVE(keep=bp) point=j nobs=nobs;
     median = (k + bp) / 2;
     end;
  else do;
     j = round( nobs / 2 );
     set HAVE(keep=bp) point=j nobs=nobs;
     median = bp;
     end;
   put median=; /* if all you want is to see the result */
   output;      /* if you want it in a new data set */
   stop;        /* stop required to prevent infinite loop */
run;

This is "old fashioned" code; I'm sure someone can show another solution using hash objects that might eliminate the requirement to sort the data first.


In the highest scoring yet competitive game that Rockets has ever been involved with, despite a most valiant effort to take two league victories over Hemel, Rockets came up a little short in a cliff hanger In Hemel on Sunday evening.
Despite Storm stroking a treble from their outstanding guard TrayVonn Wright, with their second possession after A J Carr had blocked the first one, captain Danny Carter scored with a hook, Sydney Donaldson scored and made another block disrupting the smooth shooting of Storm's guards. Rockets enjoyed a 15 point lead at 27-12 before the Storm raged to get back into contention as the first period ended 29-22 to Rockets. Carr had stroked 3 trebles and teenager David Chive a brace.
A treble from Adrian O'Sullivan and a pair of free throws from Carter enabled Rockets to keep a double digit lead before Strom had 6 unanswered points. A Carr treble and a 3 point play from Donaldson saw Rockets 40-30 ahead early in the second quarter before a barrage of Hemel trebles brought the scores level on 48 each in an excellent game for the sport and for both sets of supporters though one official was maybe a little zealous as he handed Arinze Emeka-Anyakwo his second unsportsmanlike foul so he had to leave the arena. This was a major blow for Rockets as 19 yo Emeka-Anyakwo had his best Rockets game just 6 days before. This seemed to disrupt Rockets concentration as they made a number of turn-overs giving Storm the advantage at the interval 56-53. Storm had scored 13 points from turnovers compared to Rockets nil….surely a subject for the changing room for Rockets Head Coach Alan Keane.
Hemel scored first after the break but Rockets six senior players soon brought the scores level on 58 and 60. However some clinical shooting from Storm edged them ahead again despite Trae Pemberton now being less shackled than he had been in the first half, making meaningful scores, assists and rebounds. Tanner Kuehn hit a treble to cut Rockets deficit to 72-78 before Storm lost a player too, Will Ashby with a pair of unsportsmanlike fouls whilst they held a 9 point lead. O'Sullivan was secure from the line, Carr spun to score and Pemberton scored with a floater to get within 3 points of Storm before they made the last score to stay 85-80 ahead at the end of the third period.
Carr made a slam in between a brace of 'and 1's' for Storm who found themselves 92-82 up within 90 seconds of the re-start. This final quarter saw 8 trebles drained by the teams together with 3 other 3 point plays as the final shootout was raising the roof on the Hemel Leisure Centre . Despite being 13 points adrift with 2 mins 26 remaining, Rockets powered up again, as O'Sullivan and Pemberton stroked trebles to see Rockets at 111-115 with a 8-0 run with 24.8 secs left. Rockets were needing to foul to regain possession but Storm were absolute from the free throw line with 31 from 36 compared to Rockets just 11 from 15.
Pemberton hit 3 from 3 from the penalty stripe as Rockets went within 3 points with 17 secs on the clock. Again Storm hit both free throws but O'sullivan scored to keep the contest very much alive with 8.1 secs to go and Rockets within a score of tying the game. Storm kept their nerves and hit the final 2 free throws to get the win at 121-116.
This was very much a team performance with each player making major contributions though the top scorers were Trae Pemberton and Adrian O'Sullivan with 21 pts., apiece , A J Carr with 20 pts., with Danny Carter and Sydney Donaldson having 17 pts., each though Donaldson was also attributed with a double double having taken down 10 rebounds too. 17 yo David Chive again scored double figures with 11 pts and Tanner Kuehn hitting 9 pts.


Many world events which are discussed on social media recently highlighted to me an alarming flaw in behaviour. I stumbled across an article where an actress spoke out in her defence at being featured in a plus-sized edition of a prominent women's magazine. Though I am barely familiar with this girl, I felt compelled to read through the comments, what struck me most was the collective energy being fed on that one forum, all directed towards this girl. It is not that different to the energy of gossip and drama. Here is a reminder of what we are actually amplifying when commenting.
I'll put it like this: Think about when we pray, when many people unite with the intention of a positive outcome for someone or something. We know there is immense power in collective well wishes.
On the flip side; when many people come together voicing opinions and casting judgment of a person or situation we create the very same power, only we are facilitating a collective build-up of hateful energy directed at one singular person. Put yourself in her shoes, and imagine being on the receiving end of that tremendous force. What if it was someone we cared about?
The situation shifts to one of substance if the discussion turns to what could potentially be happening to this actress's self-esteem.
When personal self-worth gets hammered people may become anxious, nervous, self-conscious, sad or afraid and they may decide it is too difficult here and opt out or fall into hibernation or depression. Consider that for a moment. Prevention avoids intervention. If this actress has strong inner strength she will inspire others by sharing her plight, even though it does not excuse those negative comments.
In another unrelated article a Mother discovered her child was bullying another, so she bullied and humiliated her own child. How is that any better? I was reminded of the old saying "two wrongs don't make a right". This woman has reacted to avoid being judged as a parent who produces bullies or condones the behaviour; here's the paradox, she is a bully.
Judgment is natural, we all do it at times, however, if we can become mindful by turning the scenario around to examine why we are reacting, we begin to behave with grace most of the time. The ripple effect then becomes kindness, empathy, compassion and tolerance for ourselves and others, how much nicer is that?
Be kind. We all are the same at our core.
